“The big advantage of bikes is that they go directly from where you start to where you finish, when you need to go. The advantage over cars is that they need perhaps 1/10th of the amount of space. Roads that jam up quickly with cars can carry effectively unlimited numbers of people by bicycle.”

“Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”

Where once stood a roadway moving 30,000 cars per day, 'Paris Plages' is an artificial beach installed on the River Seine each summer. Proving pilot projects are Trojan Horses in the urban transformation process, it has been a centrepiece in the city's strategy to change hearts, minds, and streets.🧵

For years, the right has warned of false and invented Dem plots to open concentration camps in the US for political opponents.
